General BS forum I guess this will be for anything that would seem to be off topic in any other forum here. Just general shootin' the breeze kind of topics.

This thing is fast. It does 7's in the 1/4 mile.

I'm having deja vu that I've already posted this. Hmm...

I wonder how that thing gets enough traction to run quarters?... I wish i could drive a 2000hp car around town.

Seems to me there will be a point of diminishing returns with horsepower. Getting it to the pavement without having it go up in smoke could be a problem. But on the other hand, putting it all into raw acceleration might make it so no one could survive the G-forces it would produce. I know I certainly wouldn't want to get into a vehicle that could do the quarter mile in 2 seconds from a dead rest. Probably would make me a squishy little puddle in the driver's seat.

With some really fat tires. Actually in the video, he was spinning in 3rd gear at 20mph I think.

Well there is that roller coaster at Six Flags in NJ that goes 0-128mph in 3.3 sec!
It's called Kinda Ka. Goes 45 stories up! Woo hoo! Here's a link in case you want to ride it via the net.
